MRI today, but they don't suspect they'll find any structural damage. Word is 2 weeks on the shelf.

SUcks he is gonna miss the Chicago game since he owns that team.

Great news, they cancelled the MRI! Says it's not necessary and the swelling today isn't that bad. Said that if it was playoffs he would be good to play today, but because it's not they are going to keep him out of tomorrow's game and play it by ear day to day. Might not be out the full projected 2 weeks.

Atlanta might be a good fit for him. Would rather see him starting somewhere but he is going to get a ton of minutes with them so it probably won't matter much.

Plus Lloyd Pierce is very good coach so he should get the most out of him.

showing why he's a bench player

Maybe don't rush him?

fucking Collins suspended 25 games for PEDS. That's gonna make things tougher for Trae, that was his main pick n roll partner.

Hawks are fucked now. They were looking like a possible playoff team, but this will sink them for sure. Never too early to start planning for the draft.

I never did get the disrespect. His passing ability, especially in traffic, was on on a different level, from day one. It was right there in front of your eyes. The rest of his game, the clanked 35 footers, the runners, the defense, and the turnovers, were legit critiques. They've all been improved. So far in his 2nd year, he's a top 20 player. And in the all important "Does he make his teammates better" category.....

It's a fucking slam dunk.

Got to pump the breaks on top 20 player. He is still by far the worst defender that I have ever seen. He doesn't even try on defense. His stats will always be inflated because he is so ball dominant. If he makes the All Star team then I will back off. As far as bust goes that is definitely over. He isn't that. Nor will he be. Will take the L as far as that but that is as far as it goes.


When people start putting him in an elite class with the top PGs it might be time to "Whoa Nellie" just a little bit. He aint that.

I point to how defenses play him and I point to the improvement of his teammates' efficiency. He's top 20, so far, as I said. I'm not planting a flag. I'm stating an informed opinion.

Pierce has taken a wild highly skilled basketball player with no sense of team or self awareness and has given him direction. He's being coached for the first time in his life and it's paying off..big time.

Also, he's starting to show signs of playing the world renowned John Paxson defense. If he can get there, that's all you can ask.

Where was that tweet when Lilliard pushed his shit in Sunday?

Prior to last night he was 43-112 from the field (about 40%) over his past 6 games. His defense still stinks. Can't guard a lamppost. He makes the All Star team and then I will back off. IF that is flag planting then so be it.

It was just last week that the immortal Tomas Satoransky ( who can't score double digits if you leave him the gym by himself) dropped 27 on him and the apologists proclaimed it to be "only one game". WEll this was only "one game" too. His past 6 weren't really all that great.

He was one game removed from going 9 for 30 against Lillard the other day. He also avg 5 turnovers per game which is far too much for a dude that avg 8 assists per game.

Lol 35 points on 30 shots

This is 2019. There's something called eFG%. It's up 6-1/2 percentage points this year mainly due to 40% from 3.

Every metric is up. Do you see him regressing? at age 21? With this coach?

Whatever. Last year he had a 3.3 win share. He has 1.1 after 10 games. Puts him on a pace for 9. That makes him a top 5 PG at the end of the year. He's also made your guy Parker 20-25% better than his career PER. You, more than anybody, should be cheering this little fucker on.
